A Communist in the White House? 1992 and 2009
The year was 1992. Bill Clinton had won the Presidential election, and he was preparing to make appointments to fill Cabinet positions. The leading candidate for Secretary of Education was an African-American woman who was head of his transition team for education, labor and the humanities, Johnnetta Cole. She was President of Spelman College in Atlanta, a highly regarded institution for black women, and sat on the boards of many corporations, including the Atlanta based Coca-Cola, and Merck pharmaceuticals. She currently is Director of the Smithsonian Museum of African Art. If you Google or Bing her name, there will be scores of sites linking to her solid establishment pedigree.
Only one thing is left out, and seems nowhere to be found. That is her longstanding ties to the Communist Party of the United States. That was not the case as Clinton was preparing to assume the presidency. Using material furnished to him by various sources, David Twersky, then Washington editor of the Jewish Forward, revealed the hidden story of Cole’s then recent past. Cole, he revealed, had held leadership positions in the pro-Castro Venceremos Brigades, a group that sent American volunteers to work in Cuba in support of the Cuban regime. She also held a major position on the Executive Board of the U.S. Peace Council, the pro-Soviet affiliate of the World Peace Council, the “peace” organization of the Communist bloc. As the Twersky articles reverberated through Washington, Cole responded that “right-wing extremists” were after her because she had opposed the war in Vietnam and Reagan’s invasion of Grenada.
Cole was being more than disingenuous. The Forward was not a right-wing paper; indeed, it had editorially endorsed Clinton for president. As for Cole, she was not part of the mainstream opposition to the war in Vietnam, but a far-left radical who supported a Vietnamese Communist victory. When the folk-singer Joan Baez circulated a petition condemning the North Vietnamese government for human rights violations and political repression, Cole signed a petition denouncing Baez as “immoral.” Printed as an ad by the U.S. Peace Council in The New York Times, it asserted that under Communist rule, Vietnam “now enjoys human rights as it has never known in history.” As for Grenada, she was not simply an opponent of the Reagan policy, but president of the U.S.-Grenada Friendship Society, a Communist front group that offered support to the Marxist-Leninist regime of Maurice Bishop. Under her signature, the group issued a statement that spoke of “a history of U.S. aggression and genocidal practices against people of color around the world,” and that said America’s “hidden agenda” was to “destroy all enemies of corporate America.”
What did the Clinton team do with this news? First, the woman who would be the first press secretary of the new President, Dee Dee Myers, explained that the charges were simply “silly,” and was “something we’re just not concerned about.” An aide to Al Gore said that Cole had suffered an “unfair smear.” Samuel Berger, soon to be named Deputy National Security Advisor, said this hullabaloo was about the “distant past.” In a column in The New York Post, its editorial page editor, the late Eric Breindel, wrote that if Cole got an appointment, it would send an “inescapable” message that the Clinton administration was not “interested in distinguishing between a Left-liberal and someone who cast her lot with the cause of Communist totalitarianism.” In response, Jesse Jackson replied that “Jewish complaints” had harmed her chances for a Cabinet post.
The bottom line was that Bill Clinton, as he had with the also controversial Lani Guinier, did not stand by Johnnetta Cole. He did not remove her from the transition team. Other Clinton appointees-including Donna Shalala and Marian Wright Edelman, had both served with Cole on the Board of Trustees of Spelman College and Clinton did not want to offend them. But just as Cole’s chief supporters in New York, Susan Thomases and Harold Ickes Jr. were preparing a party to honor her for gaining the spot as Secretary of Education, Cole was told that it was not to be. Appointing someone as a Cabinet secretary whose pro-Communist positions were so open was something the new president was not about to risk.

Oops…forgot to say great post! Looking forward to your next one.
Are any of Gus Halls relatives in this administration? Nothing surprises me about the radicalism of Bambi.
There’s an old (and wise) saying that “You will be judged by your friends.” Obama has surrounded himself with advisers and “czars”, aka commissars, with long and unpleasant histories as communist and/or socialist America-haters. This bunch aims to ignore our Constitution and rebuild the U.S.A. in the image of the old, failed U.S.S.R. If we don’t stop these people, our Republic will be lost.
And with Holdren who with Ayers started the Weather Underground who called for forced abortions, looks like we have some great Czars that have the Presidents ear. And some say we are not heading for communism/socialism. The Czar infrastructure has not been vetted by anyone. And we have 40 or so who will have input on policy.
This article is great as far as it goes. I request that Mr Radosh research the other known Marxists who are in the cadre of Presidential advisors. I trust that Pajamas will then present the evidence to it’s readers. It is time to expose the likes of Mark Lloyd and John Holdren.
Holdren believes in the supremacy of a world government and advocates the forced sterilization of women along with mandatory abortion to “save the planet”. I am not making any of that up.
Mark Lloyd is the racist follower and admirer of Hugo Chavez.
Each is an advisor to the President. I suggest Pajamas catalogue the information on them and any other advisors and release it to it’s readers.
Waiting for the inevitable ad hominem attack. Of course any one who exposes such truths is stupid, crazy or silly. Judge for your self the predilictions of Holdren and Lloyd and then tell me who is crazy.
Uuuuuh . . . Communist
Bring out the cross . . . do an exorcism . . .
Get some agua bendita.
The public deserves an answer, and the White House should ask Jones to provide one.
As if Obama – a marxist- doesn’t know exactly what he’s doing. People need to wake up and realize that Obama is a committed member the far left wing of the Democratic Party. His moderate pretense is simply a means to an end.
It’s too trite to say, too easy to disdain, but it’s time to say it boldly, loudly, clearly.
Adolf Hitler also staffed his Chancellery with ‘czars’ personally accountable to him only, while he spun the official department heads like a yoyo on sleep until they became the shadow government, and he and his goons could do anything they wanted.
You are in 1933, and time runs fast these days. Go Galt.
This is proof positive that Obama does not embrace American values. I don’t want an avowed socialist or communist occupying any office in Washington because their belief system is opposed to individual freedom and liberty.
“A Communist in the White House?”
Just one? That’s nothing. I’m holding a paper in my hand that lists 41 card-carrying communists working in the State Department!
Vivo, as Walter Sobchak so eloquently put it to the very naive ‘Donny’ Kerabatsos in The Big Lebowski: ‘Donny, you’re out of your element.’
Indeed..
VIVO, VIVO!!! Yes, those commies are so benign! Why worry? What’s the big hub-bub? Maybe it’s the 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists that worry people?. Say it to yourself until you get it: 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists; 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists; 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists; 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists.
Yes Commies are good look at the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS Commie Stalin and Commie Mao killed not to mention SOCIALIST Hitler. Maybe this is what Vivo wants in the USA with the Mohammedan left wing Commie inspired Obamanation.
Just one Mr. Radosh? You are being too kind. This administration is bursting at the seams with communists although they are not calling themselves that because of obvious reasons. Our own PRESIDENT is a communist but has managed to escape the label and fool many millions. His fascim is the way to Marxism. Look at Chavez and his power grabs. We have never seen anything like this in American and think because of our history we are immune. That is what makes this so treacherous because Obama will be able to pull this bloodless Marxist revolution off right in front of our faces without our every having been warned or prepared. Add to that the complicit and deceitful media and we stand here, many of us knowing the nature of this beast, and unable to do anything about it. This is the fruition of the FDR blight on this country, the first president to have communists, socialists, “progressives”, and fellow travelers planted within the halls of power and transforming this country from a constitutional republic into a socialist democracy with the Constitution referred to as a “wink, wink”. Has anyone noticed that the ranks of the Marxist foot soldiers are filled with angry black Americans? Does anyone think this is pure happenstance? They were targeted to be used as useful idiots as much in the Civil Rights Movement was Marxist agitprop. Joe McCarthy was RIGHT and that was why he had to be stopped. Ironically he was their blessing because they cold claim “victimhood” status all the while destroying from within and immune from investigation and the light of public scrutiny.
Yet again, wow, big surprise that B. Hussein is appointing a communist to a significant government position. Any serious person knew during the campaign that B. Hussein was a left-wing radical — what kind of people did everything think he was going to appoint? Conservatives?
When Clinton was elected the first time, with Democrat majorities, I felt sad for the direction this country was going. With the election of The One, I now worry that in my own lifetime (I am still rather young) I might be witnessing the end of the United States of America and the destruction of the Constitution. If something doesn’t happen soon, our rights won’t be diminished. They will be gone.
You know, imagine the MSM firestorm if some Republican President appointed a Nazi to his administration!
One aspect of the Left’s moral purblindness is its refusal to see Communists as being *just as evil* as the Nazis. Communists, to the Left, are at worst simply ‘liberals who go a little too far.’
Oh, we should also toss in Socialist International board member Carole Browner, Obama’s EPA boss.
——————
BTW, Driblio: McCarthy was a drunk, a bully, and a lout. He was also right. The State Department was indeed infested with Soviet agents; in fact, the KGB files examined post-’89 have shown that it was even worse than McCarthy imagined. And that’s not even mentioning the NKVD/KGB infiltration of academia and media, the awful Gramscian effects of which are really bearing evil fruit today.
“Uuuuuh . . . Communist
Bring out the cross . . . do an exorcism . . .”
Communism is not likely considered a major threat to vivo. Far too many Americans have received a pathetically mediocre education. They perceive Joe McCarthy as the real menace and Communists as mere reformers who occasionally got a bit carried away with their efforts. You can tell how bad things are by the few commenters that visit Ron Radosh’s blog on a regular basis. It seems obvious that most people today think that the study of Communism is “so yesterday” and not particularly relevant to our present concerns. The names of Mao, Stalin, and Lenin are perhaps nothing more than Trivial Pursuit questions.
Bohemond (9):
Not to disagree with you, but FYI the Nazi’s (National Socialist Party) were (are) on the left. Fascism is a branch of socialism, differentiated from Marxism primarily by the fact that production is still privately owned, albeit totally controlled by the government.
See the books “Modern Fascism” by Gene Veith and and “Liberal Fascism” by Jonah Goldberg.
I have been saying, for more than a year now, that Obama and his handlers are all communists. What I have not been able to understand is the media’s complete acceptance of this fact. Are they Borg? Do they not understand that they have more to lose than anyone else when these communists decide to shut down the 1st Amendment and anything else that threatens their power?
Think it won’t happen? Correct. The first to be exposed will have to be these so called Czars. Hey lefty, can you now see the inevitable direction of your ideology?
Vivo, you are just a useful idiot. Just ask your favorite Czar.
Vivo-
Most people in this country are not interested in a socialist government taking over in Washington. We certainly are opposed to a COMMUNIST government in Washington. Creeping Communism is the path to ruin in this country.
Communists are our enemies because they are in opposition to everything that makes this country THE GREATEST NATION EVER ON EARTH!
If it takes an exorcism to evict them from the halls of government, I’m in! Unfortunately, they are more like cockroaches than evil spirits and exorcisms do not work on cockroaches.
Anybody got a REAL BIG can of Raid?
Both the socialist and communist party of America endorsed BHO. Also, ‘Che’ posters were at several Obama campaign headquarters, and overlooked by the so called mainstream media.
There would not be a Democrat party without the mainstream media propping it up.
People are beginning to wake up, and realize how corrupt the MSM has been, and continues to be.
In other words, a political slush fund which has nothing to do with green and only has to do with jobs in the sense of creating another Bamajugen organization with no oversight whatsoever. ACORN II.
Holdren’s a pretty odious character for other reasons, but I don’t believe that there’s any documented connection to the WU. Please check your sources.
Barack Obama will not be another Bill Clinton. “Triangulation” is simply not his style. He is existentially committed to the nonviolent radical political doctrines of Saul Alinsky and Martin Luther King, Jr. Obama is also a very shallow and poorly read man. It may be too late for him to get his act together. Lastly, he is too lazy! He does not want to do the boring stuff. Ted Kennedy would spend countless hours performing the unexciting duties required to get legislation through Congress. Obama only wants to shoot his mouth off.
#17 Calvin… That’s funny, I did not know Robert Byrd endorsed Obama.
Van Jones is not the only one in the Adm that is misleading America down the road to Communism, with Obama’s belssings.
I have been watching the Glen Back show this week, and it has been an eye opening exerience to what is going on in the Obama Adm!!!! The people that he has brought in and are his advisors is disgusting to our way of life and our freedoms!!!
..We have fought many wars for our freedom, and Obama is taking it away, quietly…no fight…
Also, if Obama is allowed to let ACORN do the census, your vote won’t mean squat in 2010, and he knows it, so he’s not worried. \
We are waking up a little late, I hope not too late.
My question is still….what do we do about it ????
We are involved with the 9/12 projects, are you? I hope you are not just sitting at home typing….
These types don’t get hired by the Obama Team despite being communists, or by mistake. They get hired because they are communists.
Notwithstanding your valid point, Ron, sometimes more “moderate” nutbars can be even more destructive, because they can be safely put into more visible and powerful positions. If you’re not aware of the permanent damage Hazel O’Leary did to our national security, just google.
And as far as that goes, I don’t see that Jamie Gorelick paid any kind of price for her role in causing 9/11. In fact, she got to sit on the commission and whitewash her own role.
Communism at its core professes that it will take care of people, make all outcomes equal. Also at its core is the not so veiled goal of doing the above by taking away most of the people’s freedoms.
This is done by organizers, revolutionaries who will have to shepard those poor stupid people. For the great stress this sacred work will entail the leaders will live like the Czars of old.
Oh, and if anyone gets in their way it’s off to the gulags for reeducation. That is if the counterrevolutionaries just don’t disappear. Saul Alinsky has said that 15 million Americans need to die before America can be “changed”.
Alinsky, you know the guy. He was the one that Obama chose to host his announcement that he was running for the presidency.
The Cold War is Lost, the Commies are now in control; I am not kidding and I am not crazy
As we bury Teddie this week his real legacy began in 1968 when he changed the immigration policy that barred Western Europeans from entering our country. He opened up the doors to massive immigration form the 3rd world. My leftest economics professor was giddy with delight. “The end is now in sight”, he proclaimed. And now we see how right he was. Destroy our culture and our identity and our pride in our country and you are ripe for any dedicated group of revolutionaries. Remember the Bolsheviks took over the revolution. They did not start it.
Now that the country has been dumbed down sufficiently enough the take over is now complete. The Bolsheviks have been hovering around the peripheries of power for years. They thought they had arrived with Jimmy Cater, but he was a classic looser. They thought they had arrived with the Clintons but the Clintons did not like sharing power and Bill was too interested in his popularity. In Obama the Messiah has finally arrived. He will not fail them. There is flood of these clowns in government. Coming out of their hiding beds in Academia and commie front “community activist organizations”.
It is going to be interesting how far they can go in 4 years.
“…began in 1968 when he changed the immigration policy that barred Western Europeans from entering our country.”
The year was actually 1965. Western Europeans were not explicitly barred from entering the United States—but this was the perhaps unintentional result. The emphasis was placed on “family unification.” This meant that Europeans who had no citizen relatives living here had to go to the back of the line. Those benefiting were often Mexicans possessing little education and unwilling to fully assimilate. I completely agree with John Derbyshire. The !965 Immigration Act and the 1971 Griggs vs. Duke Power court decision were “two body blows against the USA in the past half century”. The destruction has been mind-boggling.
Really good comments and I think one of the main reasons this great country was hyjacked by a blatent lying soicialist commie was ACORN and it’s band of corrupt agencies.
But here’s my question: how do WE Americans stop funding them with OUR tax dollars? I mean, isn’t there a huge conflct of interest here? Any constitutional lawyers out there that could help bring a case against these corrupt thieves? Could we bring a class action suit agaisnt them eg., ACORN vs the people. We need to sniff out all these front groups that are anything but AMerican so this tragedy does’nt happen again.
Got any more vintage red baiting nonsense to gin up the small minds with?
All you can handle big minded Horace.
“Saul David Alinsky (January 30, 1909, Chicago, Illinois – June 12, 1972, Carmel, California) was a community organizer and writer. He is generally considered to be the founder of modern community organizing in America. His ideas were adapted by some American college students and other young organizers in the late 1960s and formed part of their strategies for organizing on campus and beyond.”
Strange but Alinsky was born to Jewish immigrant parents. He turned out to be a communist leader that both Hillary and Obama have followed. Hillary knew Alinsky and he at one time was said to have offered her a job. She had other things going and turned him down. Obama was hired by a follower/teacher of Alinsky at his first community organizer job and was fully indoctrinated. His teacher said he was an exceptional student.
We see his techniques in the “blame the other guy” that the Dems are doing. Fill the opponents meetings with your people pretending to be the opponants people. The best example was filling a Republican meeting with (pretend) KKK people, and agree with everything the Republican candidate said, loudly..
Hillary,Bill, Obama…all followers of Alinsky the communist. In all honesty, if Beck had not pointed that and the Czar thing out, I really had no idea..However “then” I looked it up, much to my chagrin…and the the gates opened and there are several communists in his cabinet, czars that really like chavez etc…
Well, Nakita said they would take us over without firing a shot..from within…and Obama is doing his best. Also, Norman Thomas said,
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened”
We have to stay strong in our convictions and not allow our country to be taken over, and our economy devalued around the world.
Razkrellyat anyone?
The White House is full of Communists,not just one !!!!
Those of our leaders that are putting the USA under such influence should hang their heads in shame. For all of the men & women that have died to give us all freedoms that we seem to take for granted that they will always be. I personally think its a joke to hear that the government has an ethics comittee. I think its time to clean all houses, and kick the czars to the curb. We need men & women that can read the bills that come before them. They need to read history books instead of trying to rewrite it to their liking. We the people need to make it clear if you don’t like America, its Constitution and what the people want, you need to clear out.

Blog and rant all you want, but be sure you, your friends, your family all VOTE, that is the strongest tool God gives us to hack down the tree of socialism and communism in America. But don’t worry READY, FIRE, AIM Obama will shoot himself in the crotch. The landslide has already started, in 2010, he will loose the Democrat controlled congress and render himself impotent!
12. James:
“Maybe it’s the 100 million dead over the last 100 years at the hands of communists that worry people?”
I’m not defending Communists, but how many dead by non-commies? Be fair and balanced.
18. David Thomson:
“The names of Mao, Stalin, and Lenin are perhaps nothing more than Trivial Pursuit questions.”
Just about. The USA will never have pure Communism. Not even China or the Soviets.
* * *
Everyone here is calling a non-conservative a communist. They just can’t find the rght word, read this:
“Green For All formally opened its doors on January 1, 2008. In its first year, Green For All organized “The Dream Reborn,” the first national green conference where the majority of attendees were people of color. It co-hosted, with 1Sky and the We Campaign, a national day of action for the new economy called “Green Jobs Now.”
It launched the Green-Collar Cities Program to help cities build local green economies. It started the Green For All Capital Access Program to assist green entrepreneurs. And Green For All, as part of the Clean Energy Corps Working Group, launched a campaign for a Clean Energy Corps initiative which would create 600,000 ‘green-collar’ jobs while retrofitting and upgrading more than 15 million American buildings.
In reflecting on Green For All’s first year, Jones wrote, “One year later, Green For All is real – and we have helped put green collar jobs on the map…We have a long way to go. But today we have a strong organization to help get us there.”
What has ‘red’ to do with ‘green’??
13. Pragmatist:
“Yes Commies are good (.) look(sic) at the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS Commie Stalin and Commie Mao killed not to mention SOCIALIST Hitler. Maybe this is what Vivo wants in the USA with the Mohammedan left wing Commie inspired Obamanation(sic).”
This looks like it was written from an insane asylum.
21. bubblehead:
“We certainly are opposed to a COMMUNIST government in Washington. Creeping Communism is the path to ruin in this country.”
U hv been brainwashed. Nobody is turning DC into communism. It’s just plain paranoia.
Anything≠ Republican= communism
What a great fallacy!
How many more?
yes the problem with Obama wasn’t ever really about him per se, it was about the opportunity he presents to the rest of the Leninists to debauch the government. Of course, the real worry – in my opinion – is that the Communists never send anyone because they intended to merge with them; they send them off to do the work and then the agent of their plans is executed. i don’t mean assassinated specifically, i mean a massive terrorist blow while mr. un-militarily-credible is at the helm. i will be shocked if we aren’t attacked in the next few years. well at least surprised.
#17: “You know, imagine the MSM firestorm if some Republican President appointed a Nazi to his administration!”
I dunno. They gave Cheney a pass.
“Anything ≠ Republican= communism”
You really cannot grasp the substance of the editorial can you vivo? It isn’t about Republicans, it’s about Dem Party leaders being partial to individuals who subscribe to communism or are indeed communists and promoting them to positions of authority. As such your fallacious arguments reside solely within the vacuum between your ears.
“Bring out the cross . . . do an exorcism . . .
Get some agua bendita.”
Congratulations vivo. That is the most intelligent, intellectually coherent argument you have made. Or are capable of making.
Well well well vivo all that work and no rebuttal at all how sad you are. BTW why do you think you have any need to correct MY English when it is quite clear your English comprehension skills are abysmal. Please explain what YOU think is wrong in saying ‘look at all the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of people SOCIALISTS just like Obamabi is such as Hitler, Mao and Stalin killed in the 20th Century.
“Yes Commies are good (.) look(sic) at the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS Commie Stalin and Commie Mao killed not to mention SOCIALIST Hitler. Maybe this is what Vivo wants in the USA with the Mohammedan left wing Commie inspired Obamanation(sic).”
When you copied my post why did you put the full stop after ‘Commies are good’ ? why did you put the (sic) after ‘look’ a perfectly good and appropriate English word in context of the sentence. Why did you put (sic) after “Obamanation” that is what I and many other people choose to call your Mohammedan LIAR Messiah. So English punctuation 2/10 English comprehension 1/10 Common sense and ability to rebut 0/10 go and sit in the corner DUNCE .
39. vivo:
Tell me, why are American soldiers still dying in Iraq and Afghanistan? Why hasn’t Obama given the orders to pull them out? Bush lite maybe?
Obama is not a far left leaning democrat; he is a communist/socialist/radical aiming to destroy our country. These so-called “green jobs” they are spouting about are just a small part of the means of spreading that wealth to the “community oganizers.” I hold everyone in the House and Senate responsible for complicity in treason if they allow cap and trade, hate crime bills, health care ‘reform.’ I hold those who voted for him responsible for not doing their homework: giving him a pass on all his communist, socialist, leftist, marxist friends, relatives, writings.
PS VIVO will NEVER listen to a word you say. He has lost the ability to think. The enemy is within. Khrushchev is doing a happy dance in the grave.
And how in the world did the Republican party ever think that John McCain could win an election?
At the very least, a transnationalist in the White House.
In the light (or dark) of transnationalism, sundry attitudes seen on Obama’s various apology tours make sense.
Then there’s State Department legal adviser, Harold Koh, a transnationalist down to his smallest particle of DNA.
Andrew McCarthy’s thoughts on the real agenda behind Eric’s Folly, the re-re inquiry into the Guantanamo deal…
Eric Holder’s Hidden Agenda
I think there were times when we ought to have been concerned with Communists in the White House, particularly during the end of World War II. Harry Dexter White, number two at Treasury, was a Soviet spy.
But seriously, a “communist” today is nothing more than a “liberal in a hurry.” They disagree on nothing significant. And there is no chance of espionage. Even assuming that Russia and China remain rivals, real flesh and blood communists have NO interest today in defending post-Communist Russia and China. Even the John Birch Society I think, has stopped fighting “Communists” and started fighting globalists instead, who very often identify as conservative Republicans and capitalists.
So the proper response is: it is 2009, and WHO CARES!
Communist?
For Obambi, surely, communism is passé?!
The narcissistic one’s totalitarianism of choice is Modified Marxism.
Better known by one or another of the names its creator and his Axis cohort called their manifestations: Fascism, National Socialism and Nazism!

Yawn. More smears from a party that is out of ideas.
It’s a little ironic that they went after Palin for having a pamphlet from the john birch society but nobody notices or cares when Obama nominates two high profile communists…
You strike at the core of what is wrong with the youth of our nation: Naively believing the world is full of good people, good governments and everyone wants to get along.
There has been no real threat introduced to the youth of our nation. The might of the Soviet Union does not exist. The fear of nuclear holocaust does not reside in their beings. They truly do not believe there is an “evil” out there that can harm them or their country. The most recent attack on liberty (9/11) was merely something that happened to “someone else” and didn’t occur in their backyard.
What they fail to realize is the reason they don’t have that daily fear of wondering if someone is going to drop bombs on their head or begin World War III any second is because the former generations of America didn’t allow it to happen in the first place. Communism died of it’s own accord because it is not sustainable.
But as naive children, they believe communism and socialism has never been tried “their way”. Communism is not a bad thing to them. It has never posed a threat to them. They are totally unaware of what it really is.
#20: What I have not been able to understand is the media’s complete acceptance of this fact. Are they Borg? Do they not understand that they have more to lose than anyone else when these communists decide to shut down the 1st Amendment and anything else that threatens their power?
I can only hope that if it does happen, that the MSM members are also disappeared or shot. That would be justice for their crime of complicity in bringing this suffering upon us.
what a sordid band of fascists you all are!
So now, quoting somebody’s numerous public statements is McCarthyism? You’re as cogent as ever, bibs.
I remember hearing after Obama took office that the application for government jobs asked whether you were or had ever been a member of the Communist Party. Back then I thought it was an absurd question. Perhaps this question has been on government job applications for some time, I don’t know. But, now I realize that perhaps answering ‘yes’ to that question was probably what got a lot of people hired for government positions. You have to wonder just how many thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of Communists actually work in our federal system. There is no doubt that Socialist-leaning educators are in our schools teaching our children.
The government takeover of banks, auto industries and the health care system won’t end there. Next will be the complete shutdown of our Constitutional rights and a re-writing of Constitution to include what powers the government WILL have over its citizens. Our founding fathers wrote the Constitution in a manner that protected citizens from the government becoming too powerful…it gave rights to the individual free person.
We are witnessing the well-organized dismantlement of our Country by anti-American, anti-capitalist groups that have been around for a long time. A Communist takeover of our Country has been in the works for decades…slowly, but persistently. This administration has opened the door for these groups to come in, take apart our society and put it back together again the way they wish. Why do you think they call themselves ‘community organizers’?
Pragmatist-not to mention modern day “wonders” like Pol Pot(rumored to have murdered up to 25% of Cambodias population in only 4 years), who was so dirty even North Vietnam eventually had to remove him from power, or Kim Ill Sung of North korea and his equally nutty son Kim Jong mentally Ill. Chavez will eventually get just as bad if hes not removed, hes too mentally unstable. Communism, like Islam, is not compatiable with success in any matter. Look at your Islamic countries, in spite of trillions in oil wealth many of them still rank near the bottom of the economic,cultural and literary scales worldwide.
Bohemond, #18
I get what you are trying to say, but no real Conservative would ever appoint a fascist to a post as they are socialist and the polar opposite of a Conservative.
For some reason the left seems to think that facist are far right, they are actually very far left and not related to an American Conservative.
Also, being conservative depends on what country you are talking about as to the political meaning of Conservative.

I really don’t know. If I was President Obama, I’d pull all the troops TODAY, except for some few self-defense security at bases and embassy.

“For some reason the left seems to think that facist(sic) are far right, they are actually very far left and not related to an American Conservative.”
Same thinking when conservatives call Communist any American Liberal.
People just parrot words without thinking.
If we’ve got so many commies in The White House, and this clearly being an act of “TREASON” against our country, then how on god’s green earth are these people not being considered for Impeachment? Can someone, anyone, explain this to me, because no matter how much the thought arises, I just can’t get my head around it.
“People just parrot words without thinking.”
Yes, they do.
If this White House wanted it publicized that Jones is a radical communist they would NOT have scrubbed the internet.
They have.
Van Jones has very little to no info through Google but more through Bing.Scrubbed…
This means The White House is hiding it’s agenda from the people.
Google assists in this deception.
The people must rise against this rush to Communism power grab. The stupid must be educated.
Get Soros out of the country. Run him out like the H1N1 they try to chicken little the country with. FEAR MONGERS FOR POWER. Squash them like the bugs they are..
People just like you, Vivo. sheesh.

Communism is not dead, it is alive and well in the United Nations, repackaged in Russia and other countries to allow profits from “free market values” to flow into the countries.
We have a Republic, it is significantly different from a democracy. In a republic the individual matters. In a democracy “You can compare it to a lynch mob…there is only one dissenting vote and he is at the end of a rope” (Quote from Edward G. Griffin)
These people seem to be “fellow travelers” of the Communists because they are known radicals so are more useful outside of the Party powers and dispensible.
We need to remember that in our Constitution any treaty that places us under any other sovereign power is not legal and binding because it is Un-Constitutional. The powers to govern comes from us, the people, in our republic and what can be given can be taken by Constitutional recourse and means. There are impeachments possible, repeal of unconstitutional laws and if we do our research we find the right path.
Im not surprised Harold Ickes and Bill Clinton were rubbing elbows with Communists back in 1992 because that is the same year they began to plot to remove General Farley’s name from the Post Office in New York. What i find most disturbing is that the women who was the head of Spellman was also on the Board of Coca-Cola, Farley was the Chairman of the Board of Coca-Cola. Coca-cola was allowing Communists on its board.???
Coca-Cola helped to destroy Communism as a propaganda tool under Farley’s guidence, after Farley’s death, did “The Company” become Communist sympathisers? Wouldn’t this go against their bottom line?
I just found these connections disturbing. Farley “is” the 22nd amendment of the Constitution. Never forget the opposition to the third-term in 1940.
Ridiculous.

First of all, I’m not a victim!
As a former U.S. Marine, and a veteran who put his life on the line for you so called American Citizens (I served in two wars)…If I had the chance again, I would not have done it for you!
My next highest regret goes out to those who are currently putting themselves in harms way, for idiot wellfarers who will never serve their country, those who don’t put forth an honest effort to work for a living in this country (including socialist insecurity recipients who take 150 times what they ever paid in), diseducation professionals who are teaching the “evils” of the United States of America, which has fead more people than any other country all around planet Earth!
I say this, “If you are not a war veteran of the United States, you should not have the right to vote in any election.”
